Hey Guys,

Here is the ice base tutorial,

Hey dude,

Michaels in Ontario does have it but it was 10 bucks more for the same size!!! Either order it from Currys (go to their website they have a few stores across Ontario) or make sure you go to flyerland.ca and print yourself off a 40% off coupon for Michaels!!!

Cheers and share your results if ya try it!!

Cat

Thanks guys, Just so you guys know, this resin product is available in the UK.

Hey Shaman,

Thanks for posting!!

You executed the resin ice method with fantastic results!!! and like I said in your original post, the figure is well painted too!

Thanks for your comments. Guys, I don't get paid for this hobby, I have no financial interests whatsoever (No, I am not a youtube partner with revenue sharing . I do however "get paid" when guys use one of my tutorials and let me know if it helped them! If you do use any techniques or methods, I do appreciate if you guys mention my youtube channel on any internet forums regarding wargaming or modelling.

I have no doubt you get alot of OOOHSS and AHHHHS at your local game store because this technique that I have shown, I have never seen elsewhere. I can honestly say that it took me a couple attempts with different products to get this to look like this. I have to believe that somewhere else in the world someone has done something like this, but I did not find anything on using resin as ice while I did a brief search on youtube or google.

Thanks again for sharing your pics and showing us just HOW WELL you did!!

Thanks guys!

Sweet job Lizzifer! What do all your mates think of the bases you made?

Head Hunter do share your results if you do use them for your plague marines!

Cheers mate, thanks so much for the comment. I have spoken with the guy that I did the base for Njal , and he has said that it is exactly as it was when I first made it.

Hey,

I never tried tinting the resin with a wash, but I did try and use paint and it failed miserably. The resin Mfg Resin Craft has specific pigments to add to the resin to colour it, I am not sure how tinting the resin with a wash would work?

As for painting the base, ya gotta realize, this resin (without scratching and sanding it like I did to imply ice) is CRYSTAL CLEAR. Literally. So I am not sure if it would look swampy like as no swamp has crystal clear water...

Sorry I cant help ya more, but I am doing an ice base in the next few days and I may try and mix some wash if I have any left over to see what it looks like.

Cheers!
